You can take the balance of courses you need from Study.com and just complete the last 30 credits with WGU and finish in 6 months or less. You'll have a good chance of earning a tuition discount (aka scholarship) for being a WGU alumnus as well.
I had also considered going back to TESU for a BACS, but with all the changes going on, I am not sure it is worthwhile anymore when WGU is an option.
My background is in technology sales and I rather have a Business Degree first. Tech sales is what I will return to when I finish school. I want a CS degree for later when I plan on transitioning to remote contract development work.
I'm not suggesting that you switch from the business degree to the CS degree at WGU. Rather, you may be better off going back to WGU for the CS degree once you complete your bachelor's, rather than going to TESU for that. That way you still get your business degree first.
You might also consider looking for a tech-related master's degree rather than going back for a second bachelor's in CS. Two bachelor's degrees will do you little good, unless you specifically need a bachelor's in CS to qualify you for something (like a master's in CS).
I'm effectively doing the same thing. I got my BSBA first and then a MBA. Now I'm done with my business degrees and am planning to pick up a tech-focused master's or doctoral degree next.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
